This motherboard supports Hot Plug and Hot Swap functions for SATA / SATAII in
RAID / AHCI mode. NVIDIA
®
MCP7A-ION chipset provides hardware support for
Advanced Host controller Interface (AHCI), a new programming interface for SATA
host controllers developed thru a joint industry effort.
NOTE
What is Hot Plug Function?
If the SATA / SATAII HDDs are NOT set for RAID configuration, it is called
"Hot Plug" for the action to insert and remove the SATA / SATAII HDDs
while the system is still power-on and in working condition.
However, please note that it cannot perform Hot Plug if the OS has been
installed into the SATA / SATAII HDD.
What is Hot Swap Function?
If SATA / SATAII HDDs are built as RAID1 then it is called "Hot Swap" for
the action to insert and remove the SATA / SATAII HDDs while the system
is still power-on and in working condition.
For Powered eSATA function, Hot Plug function is supported in RAID /
AHCI mode only.
